ABOUT the HOUSTON COUGARS
The Cougars stand at No. 24 in the latest Golfstat national rankings. Under the leadership of Head Coach Gerrod Chadwell, Houston has posted four Top-Five team finishes in six team tournaments this season.
In their most recent action, the Cougars finished second at the American Athletic Conference Championships at Pinehurst No. 6 – Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst, N.C.. on April 18-20.
Sophomore Karen Fredgaard fired a Final-Round 67 to surge into third at 218 while freshman Zoe Slaughter finished seventh at 221 in her American Championships debut.
Standing at No. 7 in the latest Golfstat individual rankings, Fredgaard has established herself as one of the nation's premier amateur student-athletes. The Asserbo, Denmark, native leads the Cougars with a 70.27 scoring average and 12 rounds of par or better.
Fredgaard has earned three Top-Five finishes and captured the first individual title of her collegiate career at the UCF Challenge on Jan. 31-Feb. 2.
Earlier this month, she finished third at the prestigious Augusta National Women's Amateur as only the second Cougar to compete in that elite event.
A true freshman from Houston's Memorial Senior High, Slaughter ranks second on the team with a 73.33 scoring average and nine rounds of par or better.
Slaughter has enjoyed a pair of Top-10 individual finishes, including a season-best second-place showing at the MountainView Collegiate on March 19-21.
NCAA REGIONAL HISTORY
Houston is looking to compete in its sixth straight NCAA Regional. The Cougars have competed in NCAA Regionals every year in which it was eligible to compete as a team, starting with the 2014-15 season.
The 2020 NCAA Regionals and NCAA Championships were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In its most recent NCAA postseason appearance, the Cougars finished 11th at the 2019 NCAA Auburn Regional. Leonie Harm and Maddy Rayner tied for 33rd at 222 to lead the Cougars.
Harm is the only Cougar to compete at the NCAA Championships, qualifying as an individual in 2018 and in 2016.
